Super friendly, super good location, great value for money.”

There's really nothing to complain about Moritomizu Backpackers. Everyone at the hostel is super friendly (eg: staff people were drinking/chatting with the guests after their shift / eating / cooking together / giving great recommendations / even taking guests to the Ski Resorts by car), the place is very clean and the location (5min to JR Station on foot) is also really good. Maybe the only thing that could be a negative point is, that you have to leave the hostel every day from 10:30am until around 3pm (not sure what time tho) in order for them to clean everything - but when you're out doing things, this won't bother you anyway...

Great location”

This hostel is a very close walk to Nagano Station. It had a homey feel to it, not not a proper hotel, it was really nice. The owner was very friendly, though he English was not great, she tried very hard to make sure everything was ok and even tried to have a bit of conversation. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a cheap place to crash while in Nagano.

Awesome staff, clean facilities, great location!”

Loved our stay here - the staff was super friendly and helpful whenever we needed anything! 5 min walk to the main train station at Nagano was very helpful. Facilities were very clean; I liked the shower. The only thing you have to deal with is not being able to be in the building from 10:30a-4p as they go through their cleaning rounds, but that seems to be quite common in Japanese hostels.

Freezing cold but clean”

I wouldn't recommend this place in winter, some beds are warm but some are freezing cold. Otherwise, it was okay. It was relatively clean and the beds were fairly spacious. The pillows were small and uncomfortable though, the almost solid kind. Staff was fairly obliging and nice. Kerosene heater smelled really bad. Some bathrooms were (seemingly again) out of service.

Comfortable stay in Nagano”

Nice little hostel conveniently located within minutes from Nagano Station. The beds are very comfortable and very spacious. There is also quite a large kitchen/living area with useful information about travelling in Nagano and to Yamanouchi. My only criticism would be that plugs for the bathroom sinks were not provided so this was not ideal for running a basin full of warm water for face washing/shaving etc.
